    Least Expensive CCW -- Most Expensive CCW

    New York, outside of NYC and Nassau County: Counties are allowed to charge no less than 5 and no more than 10 dollars for the license, and $99 for the NY DCJS background check fee. Licenses issued outside of NYC, Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties are good for life unless revoked...

    MN to NY state move, CCW questions

    As long as you did not bring any post-sunset AWs and any handguns, you're OK. Agreed. Thankfully I don't have to worry about getting full-carry in this county, but everywhere to the south of me is restricted in one form or another. I think electing pro-carry judges should be a short term...

    MN to NY state move, CCW questions

    PATH: The message wasn't meant so much for New Yorkers (either your congressional rep is on-board or isn't) as it was for the other states that can help bring this important legislation to a vote.

    MN to NY state move, CCW questions

    That's not true. If you read the actual law the act has no name. It's referred to as the Sullivan act as it was authored by "Big" Tim Sullivan, a State Senator. There are other "acts" in NYS Law that are named for various proper nouns -- this isn't one of them. If by AK you mean one of...

    MN to NY state move, CCW questions

    New York has its pluses and minuses just like every other state. It just happens to have more negative than positive when it comes to gun rights. Instead of sitting here and bashing New York, why not work to get your Congressfolk to help pass one of those national carry laws? That way no one...

    MN to NY state move, CCW questions

    A not-so-high-quality (yet readable) copy of the letter can be found at: http://www.nysrpa.org/FOPA-DOJltrTSA.pdf They have to be listed on your pistol license after being delivered to a state-licensed dealer. A carry license is also a license to own. A premise license allows you to...

    MN to NY state move, CCW questions

    The Firearm Owner's Protection Act (18 USC §926A) only protects if you can legally possess the weapon at both points of your journey. Unless the poster rangermonroe could demonstrate that his trip started elsewhere (e.g. somewhere up Rt. 7 in Vermont) then there was nothing s**ty about what...

    Glock 22 vs USP 40 S&W

    Does personal defense mean CCW? Or an around-the-house/shop or bedside gun?

    Glock 22 vs USP 40 S&W

    I agree with possum that telling what you want to do with the pistol (plinking, ccw, etc.) would help those of us who have used both steer you in the right direction. That being said, I've tried both and I have a strong preference for H&K over Glock. I don't like the grip angle or safety...

    Bus travel?

    Yes, but once the OP started talking about carry licenses and buses, I assumed that this was not about checked baggage. You are right that checked baggage with a gun is a no-no (if undeclared).

    US facing wave of violent crimes

    Timoney's problems with guns go way beyond the City of Brotherly love. He came to NYC when he was 13 from Ireland (not exaclty a gun-loving country) and was with the NYPD starting as an officer all the way up to Deputy Commissioner when he retired in 1996. He's (likely) been anti-gun his...

    Bus travel?

    This is not legal advice, but unless NH (fat chance) or Massachusetts (or Boston through delegated power) passed a law that made it illegal for you to carry or possess a handgun on the bus, there really is no criminal penalty that can be invoked. The bus driver may not let you back on the...

    Bus travel?

    Hypothetically most people sit down, keep quiet, and enjoy the ride. :) While there is no federal law that prohibits CCW or simple possession of handguns on non-airline common carriers, many carriers have rules that prohibit such behavior. Unless there is a law that prohibits such...

    NYC/non-resident alien gun ownership

    The Frank Thompson case dealt with a carry license, albeit restricted, that was issued pursuant to §400.00(2)(f). Premise licenses issued in New York City are issued pursuant to §400.00(2)(a) for residences and §400.00(2)(b) for businesses. The case you refer to is based on a licensee with...

    NYC/non-resident alien gun ownership

    Not true. The NYPD changed their scheme for issuing licenses in the summer of 2001 -- no member of the judiciary had anything to do with it. While I cannot claim to interpret the thoughts of the heads of NYPD's licensing division, a clear rationale for changing the policy would be to allow...

    NYC/non-resident alien gun ownership

    Authorization is given, but it has not been determined (yet) if it is or is not legal. Since proper cause is not required for a license to possess a handgun in New York (a license issued under §400.00(2)(a) or §400.00(2)(b)), the licensing officer does not have the "latitude" necessary to...

    NYC/non-resident alien gun ownership

    Persuant to federal law, non-resident aliens can only possess firearms under discrete circumstances (hunting trips, range rentals, basically situatons where they do not own the firearm). While NYC *could* issue a license to a non-resident alien for the purposes of renting a firearms, no one at...

    Nice looking holsters. After the contest, I may be looking to get one anyway. If I win, I would like the Pocket Defender Convertible 2-in-1 for the Kel-Tec P32. MJ

    Anyone here from the Capital District (NY Albany) area?

    Thanks for the update. Clearly there is more to this story, even though the reporter got a few things wrong. Firearm suppressors (there's no such thing as a silencer) are not illegal to possess. Most states do allow possession, but New York doesn't. They are NFA regulated, and that is...
